missing transmission drain plug bolt washer?
Took my car in for a transmission fluid change. 2 days later the fluid leaked onto my driveway. Brought the car back to the mechanic and they said the leakage is from the drain plug copper washer. They said a new washer is installed. I brought the car back home and jack it up and take a look. I can't see any washer at the drain plug bolt. Shouldn't it be visible? Any help is appreciated.

Almost looks like metal shavings to the right of the plug there, maybe there is a washer but they stripped the pan and its leaking?
Either way they worked on it and the car is leaking from the work they did. Get them to fix it. If its just a washer... thats a $0.05 part, if its the oil pan stripped thats like $75.
